I mean it's intelligent. It condenses, codifies and communicates a carefully considered catalogue of Vermont's natural communities. In a world of intuitive opinion and idle speculation this is a sober, empiric, bright-cut jewel.Liz Thompson has crisscrossed the state evaluating sites for The Nature Conservancy. She's more familiar with Vermont than I am with my front yard. Eric Sorenson is Natural Communities Ecologist for the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Natural Heritage Program. He might know as much as she does, if that's humanly possible. Between them they've parsed our landscape into precisely described biologic community types. How finely have they defined? Click the picture to look inside. Check out the table of contents. Examine the densely packed information and consistent organization. Read some of the unpretentious but supple and cogent expository prose. ~80 communities are described, grouped and explained: what defines them, what generated and still sustains them, how they are related, where to find them.There is no essay component. A huge amount of information is distilled to be searchable (it's color coded!) and disciplined to be readable. Concise to the point of being wiry, it's still substantial, with exhaustive appendices to explain and cross-reference any technical details in the main text. Included are diagnostic flora lists, implacably factual descriptions, and precise place designations, all in plain English. Anyone can read and understand this book. After the introductory first 75 pages its entertainment value diminishes and reference character emerges - it is a guide book after all - but who can fail to be entranced by a guide so pregnant with information you practically absorb it through your fingertips? Every paragraph is educational, demonstrating both how much some of us know and how much none of us yet knows. You'll know more, and have a fuller framework for understanding what you already knew, every time you delve into this book."Wetland, Woodland, Wildland" focuses on a small state, but everyone in Vermont should own a copy. Anyone else interested in the dramatic variety of Vermont's remarkable landscape and the stellar quality of Vermont's scholarship should consider owning a copy.The index is good, the bibliography outstanding. Common specific names are incorporated in the text, scientific equivalents supplied by an appendix. Diagnostic lists include specific common names whenever they exist. There is a glossary but the few technical terms employed are also defined in context. Most individual plant and animal images are photographic; most landscape and habitat images are line drawings. All are created and scaled to their task with only I think 4 pages of primarily decorative full bleed pictures. Fully coated stock makes every line sharp. Range maps are all on the same outline. Especially gratifying to me is that page design and typography, while complex and compact, is clear and consistent. Proofreading appears to be perfect. This is a well-crafted work. It feels good, looks good, reads easily and will make you smarter about where you live.That's a beautiful thing. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous natural community descriptions! *by R***O on Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2008* Being new to Vermont I had a lot to learn of the structure and contents of the natural communities here. This book is well organized and packed with information not only for VT but for the surrounding states as well because the habitats may exist in NY, NH, MA, CT and even Canada. As Tom Vechten pointed out it may be difficult to read from cover to cover but if you read most of the beginning chapters I think it is safe to venture to the regions that interest or concern you. Nice pictures and great line drawings help with visualization. The maps for each section are also useful but it will still be up to you to figure out which habitat you are actually standing in at any given moment, however, the book will guide you to narrow the decision. I think this is an outstanding guide to the region and I recommend it to biologists, naturalists, ecologists, hikers, campers, hunters, outdoorsman, foragers and anyone interested in learning about the history to structure of Vermonts amazing landscape. A big THANK YOU to the authors for compiling this much needed resourceful guide and it's worth every penny! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars This book is so good!! *by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2021* This is one of the best natural history/field guide books I own! I only wish I'd had it sooner. Wonderful, detailed descriptions of the natural communities of Vermont, with lists of expected plants and animals, from common to rare, and recommended sites to visit that are good examples of each community type. Beautiful illustrations and photographs. So much great information, and clearly organized.
